IMHO moving the boundary to a /56 is completely missing the boat on what

mistake by not having variable length subnet masks in ipv6.

Agreed!

That rounds up to 16 subnets and doubles up to 32 subnets.  That would
require 5 bits for subnetting or a /59

I'm not trying to suggest that this is the right number, but rather that
we should take this sort of approach.

I actually think that is a policy to be determined by the RIRs...
